How Much for a New Gas Boiler ?

Many people choose to replace old central heating boilers with a new boiler because modern boilers are smaller, quieter, more efficient leading to lower heating bills and lower environmental damage

While the boiler itself is often the most expensive part of a new system, the total cost of a full install also includes pipes, overtime, valves, testing, power flushing and more - which all very important.

Boiler Costs

There are many different ways to pay for your new boiler, don't forget tha firms like STL Heating can offer low rates of boiler finance. Whilst many large firms offer one set price (although it is wise to check carefully everything this covers – sometimes unexpected fees can crop up that are not covered). This is often the most expensive option, with a lack of control give to the customer on the installation of the boiler system, but the piece of mind from a large company installing it with the promise of everything settled.

Costs Conclusion

The cost of a new boiler system will vary depending on the type of company you employ and type of boiler required – a large company will typically be more expensive but will not require as much effort on your part to get the work done, and independent companies or single person fitters do require some research and tracking down, but are often riskier as they often don't tend to provide support after the boiler has been fitted.

How about a Combination Boiler ?

The most popular boiler is the combination boiler (often referred to as a ‘combi’ boiler) and half of boilers sold within the UK are new combi boilers. This is mainly due to their  convenience, as most central heating systems use a copper cylinder to provide hot water, but a combination boiler will heat the water needed around the house within its unit. A combi system will not require a cold water tank or separate water cylinder to supply it, so that the costs of hot water will be a little lower than with a boiler that holds water in a cylinder.

What about a Wall Mounted Boiler ?

Most boilers are designed to be wall mounted, with more compact and lighter design. Wall mounted boilers come in many versions, such as with a Fanned Flue or Room Sealed. Lik most new boilers, the wall mounted type of boiler needs to have a “system by-pass” fitted, which is used to filter water throughout the boiler appliance to prevent problems later on like “kettling”.

Maybe a Condensing Boiler ?

This type of boiler has a “heat exchanger”, which allows heat to be re-circulated making it more energy efficient. One of the issues with condensing boilers is the pluming effect it creates from the flue terminal, which is often mistaken for steam. The pluming is not a danger, although is considered a nuisance and will occur for all the time that the boiler is running. Because of this, the placement of a condensing boiler can be more difficult.
